Michael Moore Goes After Donald Trump: ‘We Are All Muslim’
In an interview with the Daily Beast the day before his latest stunt, Moore said Trump should embrace his “female side”. Moore also went outside Trump Tower in NY on December 17 and stood there with a placard written “We are all Muslim”.
Davis and her supporters had asked Beshear to issue a similar executive order.
Jose Mourinho’s Record Is Amazing – Guus Hiddink Respects Predecessor
He is the one ultimately responsible for turning Chelsea into the largely successful club they still nonetheless represent today. The 69-year-old comes in place of Mourinho who was sacked on Thursday. “That means things are not going as well as foreseen”.
Bevin also rescinded Beshear’s executive order that granted voting rights to non-violent felons who have completed their sentences. The move is meant to protect officials who oppose same-sex marriage but are legally obligated to okay them. Meaning they’ll no longer bare the names of county clerks.

Washington (CNN)Christmas may have come early for Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, in the form of a gift from her governor.
Just weeks after winning his election, Kentucky Republican Gov. Matt Bevin fulfilled a campaign promise on Tuesday to accommodate county clerks who hold a religious objection to same-sex couples marrying – a cause elevated to national attention by Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis.
Now, Kim Davis will never again need to worry about having her name and signature affixed to a marriage license of a same-sex couple.
“It’s never been mine or anyone else’s intentions as far as I’m concerned to deny anybody a right that they feel that they have – but it has always been my intention that mine are not denied in the process”, said Casey Davis.
Greg Stumbo, the Democratic speaker of the Kentucky House of Representatives, praised Bevin for “finding a way to balance the law and the concerns (of) county clerks”.
Bevin, a Republican, said in a news release that he has issued an executive order to issue the revised marriage license forms to all county clerks, the AP said. U.S. District Judge David Bunning ordered Davis, 50, to issue the licenses and then jailed her after she refused.
Lastly, Bevin removes an executive order from Beshear signed near the end of his term…
Executive Order 2015-049 relieves executive branch agencies and vendors of the obligation to comply with the higher minimum wage established by Executive Order 2015-370, except as to classified employees with status who have already received increases as a result of the Executive Order. Like the minimum wage order, offenders who have already had their voting rights restored will not be affected. Bevin suspended that order, saying felons would have to apply to his office on a case by case basis.

Ditto said a copy of the order was not yet available.
